A continual pressure within the educational system in Indonesia to focus on high levels
of academic achievement is a major barrier to implementing an effective physical
education curriculum in Indonesia. The conflict between the implementation of a
movement based approach (MBA) and a sport based approach (SBA) presents another
continuing problem. The current approach leads more to an orientation towards the
acquisition of sport skills rather than the attainment of objectives of cognitive
development. This study is aimed to reveal the association between the physical fitness
and academic achievement of children in Sumedang, West Java. Four physical fitness
test items and a specially constructed mathematics test were administered to 265
children from grades four and five. The ability of performance on the physical fitness
tests to predict performance in mathematics was calculated by linear multipleregression
analysis. The findings revealed that there was a significant association,
although low, between the physical fitness components and mathematics achievement.
Sit ups and squat jumps showed low partial correlations and the relationships for push
ups and the 400 metre run were negative Limitations in the ability of the children to
perform the tests were suggested as an explanation for the mixed results. It was argued
that this weakness served to emphasise the importance of giving greater priority to
physical education and the quality of its teaching within the school curriculum.
This research examines the effect of the learning model using life kinetics on increasing learning attention as seen from the concentration level of students in one of the elementary schools in Kab. Bandung. The research method used in this research is an experimental method adapted to the research objectives of wanting to know the truth of hypotheses regarding causal relationships with a Quasi-Experimental Design research design. The analysis technique in this study uses multiple classification analyses of variance, using two ways (two-way ANOVA). Two-way analysis of variance to analyze the effect of the two independent variables, namely learning models using life kinetics and conventional learning models (not using life kinetics) with attribute variables of concentration levels (high and low). Through two-way analysis of variance and statistical data analysis techniques of IBM SPSS Version 25 software, a significant increase in attendance was found in student study groups using the life kinetic learning model.
This study aims to determine the effect of outdoor education activities on student creativity. The method used in this study is an experimental method with a static group comparison design. The sample in this study were PGSD Physical Education students using a purposive sampling technique, totalling 40 students, namely 20 students who did outdoor education activities and 20 students who did not do outdoor education activities. The research instrument was a creativity questionnaire which was analyzed with the statistical technique of the Two-Average Equivalence Test with the treatment of outdoor education activities given six days in 2 weeks. Based on the data analysis, the hypothesis is accepted, which means that outdoor education activities have a significant effect on student creativity. This study concludes that outdoor education activities have a significant positive impact on student creativity. Outdoor education activities can be a good alternative in learning to increase creativity and other cognitive components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
